I was wondering when the "Prince of Whales" might drop in. And then why not add those charming lines from the old ballad, as one raven croaks to his mate:

Whale meat, whale meat, me own true love,
Won't ye sit ye down by me,
While we feast on what the Gods have drug
From the briny sea?

Here's hoping for a better end to this tale.

Who's got the screen rights?
